Devon’s integrative approach draws from Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

EFT supports clients to connect and express their emotions in a conscious and confident way which supports the process and provides lasting positive change in relationships.

CBT fosters awareness and change with unhelpful patterns and behaviours.

EMDR helps treat the memory and nervous system related to adverse experiences to reduce distress and current triggers affecting a person’s quality of life.

Combining these evidence-based practices with client-centered and trauma-informed care, Devon supports and gently challenges clients to move toward their healing and thriving goals.

She helps clients reduce stress through self-awareness, mindfulness, breathwork, and the mind–body connection to foster resilience and fulfillment. Her sessions often incorporate practical mindfulness techniques, coping strategies, and breathwork to help clients tap into inner strengths, feel more in control, and reconnect with their sense of wholeness and well-being.

Devon’s approach supports clients to move through overwhelming experiences toward greater overall well-being. She is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who works with individuals (16+) navigating burnout, anxiety, depression, and stress related to work, relationships, and the challenges of parenting.
